Remove dependency on Cargo #41

Open JanLikar opened 2 years ago

JanLikar commented 2 years ago

Depending on Cargo makes the build time unreasonable.

Last time I heard it Cargo team was not too keen on including cargo-clone into Cargo, that's why it doesn't make sense anymore to depend on Cargo.

Everything we use Cargo for could be re-implemented with minimal dependencies. Alternatively, we could call the cargo binary to perform some of the tasks.

This could be implemented using tame-index or crates-index
